Another title I had held off watching because I wasn't sure what it was to be like.
It took a while to get used to modern day people speaking Shakespeare's line and the fact that it is (not to give a spoiler) does not appear like current day films.
Once I got used to what I was watching, it was brilliant, funny, well cast and having not known the tale of Much ado about Nothing, even though I have read many Shakespeare works, found it excellent.
Alexis Denisof is fantastic as Bernardo and Amy Acker plays a brilliant Beatrice, the fiery banter between them is fast and furious.
I cannot think of a better way for anyone to learn and understand Shakespeare.
Joss Whedon's association with Rosanne...it is no wonder that the comedy in this play is presented so well. Loved it.
